When you open a template that contains a lot of data, you should already be able to read everything in the full, expanded boxes. If thhe data takes four lines to display in the box, then you should see all four lines immediately, Uou should not get template parameter boxes that are 1.5 lines tall until you click inside the box.

I am afraid this is still not happening in Firefox.
As Fram pointed out, "Example: Contra (album) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contra_(album)?veaction=edit ], go to the "professional ratings", and explore. Parameters "rev10score" or "rev2score" do not indicate that a second line follows: parameters "rev3score" and "rev5score" give a sudden scrollbar when you click in them, because they are longer than 2 lines."

Jdforrester-WMF changed the title from "VisualEditor: In the template dialog, the boxes for pre-existing, long parameters should be expanded before you click on them" to "In the template dialog, the boxes for pre-existing, long parameters should be expanded before you click on them in Firefox".Via Web · Jan 10 2015, 3:23 AM

The underlying issue is that Firefox does not support the DOMNodeInsertedIntoDocument event, which we rely on to do the initial size adjustment. The event is actually deprecated, and we're planning to replace it with something else (T64174), so I'll mark that as another blocker.

Column Prototype

This is a very early prototype of a persistent column. It is not expected to work yet, and leaving it open will activate other new features which will break things. Press "\" (backslash) on your keyboard to close it now.
